[Verse 1]
A
 wake up and feel alone
A                                  B
party full of people and ’m all alone
E
you never felt that way before
E
out of bed running when your feet hit the floor
A
 think the flavour of life is dull
A                        B
just one bite and  feel full
E
you got an insatiable appetite
E
always got room for one more bite
    B  F#m A        E    E
And ,     hear...


[Verse 2]
A
 hear a train coming down the tracks
A                        B
plug my ears and turn my back
E
you hoot along on your vocal chords
E
run alongside and climb aboard
A
 see it goin’ one-way bound
A                                   B
got no choice but the next stinkin’ town
E
you are the perpetual optimist
E
get no reward if you take no risk
    B       F#m      A        E      E
And ,  Hee-hee, hee-hee, Hee-hee


[Chorus]
        E
and ’m pouring out
       A
like a big, dark, stormy cloud
    F#        A      E
but oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh
              E
but you’re my raincoat
A
shielding me from doubt
         F#       A     E
and self ha-aa-aa-aa-aa-aarm
